- 12 ounces of tender fresh chicken wings, approximately ¾ lb, ensuring succulent and juicy bites.
- Salt and freshly ground pepper expertly measured to enhance the natural flavors and add a touch of seasoning perfection.
For the Soy Garlic Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons of finely chopped red onion adding a mild, sweet note to the glaze.
- 3 tablespoons of authentic mirin lending a subtle sweetness and depth to the glaze.
- ¼ cup of light soy sauce crafted for a balanced and savory flavor profile, enhancing the overall taste.
- ⅓ teaspoon of garlic powder intensifying the garlic flavor for a bold and aromatic experience.
- 2 cloves of garlic peeled and finely chopped, infusing the glaze with its aromatic essence.
- 1 tablespoon of rich brown sugar providing a caramelized sweetness and a delightful hint of molasses.
- ¼ teaspoon of ginger powder adding a warm and spicy note, elevating the glaze to a delightful balance of flavors.
- ¼ teaspoon of high-quality cornstarch creating a glossy and velvety texture for the glaze, ensuring perfect coating consistency.
Garnish:
- White sesame seeds and/or finely chopped chives as desired, for a visually appealing and aromatic finishing touch, elevating the dish to a gourmet level.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the chicken wings and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper onto the wings, then evenly coat each in cornstarch.
- Place the coated wings on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking time.
- Meanwhile, prepare the soy garlic glaze by heating up a small skillet on medium heat and sautéing onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add light soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger powder and cornstarch to the pan and stir until combined.
- Reduce heat to low and stir until the sauce thickens about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- When the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and brush each one with soy garlic glaze. Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and garnish with sesame seeds and/or chives before serving.
Notes
– If you want extra crunchy wings, double-coat them in cornstarch for a thicker crust!
– Add some red pepper flakes or Korean chili powder to the sauce mixture for a spicier version of this recipe.
– Be sure to use light soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce as it will create a sweeter, more flavourful glaze.
